That depends. Taking someone off life support can be called different things depending on the circumstances. Luckily, no one "made" Richard Marsh die and he was able to fight for his life (even if unbeknownst to anyone but himself). Marsh says he was fully conscious during much of the ordeal but no one knew that.

I was moreso saying that some people would not support assisted suicide (regardless of how the person requests it or whether a family member is able to request it) because of the rare instances like Marsh's where people fully recover from a condition.
